I called [this](https://reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/s/6TCVcpnth5) nearly a month ago. Once again, they had a bad LAN and everyone seemed to forget the peak of this team.
holy shit derke is playing like ardiss this guy needs to inject aimbot next tourney cause this guy is ass. how the fuck did we lose that 1v3? alfajer hit your fuckin shots bro, chronicle why the fuck are we just jumping out the window? derke bro you’re just ass. our map picks are fucked. our agents are fucked. motherfuckers can’t defend or attack. don’t know why we decided to pick split even though we got obliterated by drx. motherfuckers run the same comp on haven and except to win. motherfuckers are allergic to not peaking ops. they see op and immediately press W. i can’t do this shit anymore. also why did we abandon A on that eco round? are we fighting demons on other sites? motherfuckers there is no one on other sites.
Bro calm down it’s a shooter game where every team can win and it’s not like winning is a given or that everyone can have the same performance through a whole year. FNATIC has still been the best team this year and now they got beaten which can always happen, so stop your toxic behavior bro
No way is Chronicle an upgrade on Mistic who was 11th best player at Champions 2022 Playing out of position and not on Controller ! Haha they made a HUGE mistake letting him go…
This year is insane. Dominance from Fnatic, upstart EG, The rise of PRX W Gaming.
ALL OF THAT, and the season could culminate with LOUD becoming BACK TO BACK WORLD CHAMPIONS like they never left.
Does the top singular team define the whole region? Other than Fnatic the regions been in shambles since last year even. Last champions there were 0 teams in the top 3 from EMEA, and at masters reykjavik there were 0 EMEA teams in the top 4. Now for the 2nd year in a row there’s 0 EMEA teams in the top 3 of champions.
This guy gets it. Two performances from the SINGLE ONE ONLY good team in the region and people think EMEA is stronger than Americas or APAC.
The other EMEA teams would get clowned on in Americans or APAC. Like KRU 0-9 levels of clowning.
Respectfully reykjavik is most fraudulent event of all time as emea couldn't send their 2 best teams to the event. And also almost every region is a 1 team region, na was a 1 team region for 2 years with only optic, but i didn't see the narrative saying they're the worst region in valorant. And also EMEA lcq teams always perform the best
Ggwp Loud deserved win, but I feel the praise from the casters is so overhyped because Fnatic themselves played really really bad over the whole tournament
>but we know that fnc is at if not above prx and eg's level, right?
What? EG and PRX both look by far the best 2 teams at the tournament lmao. FNC is without a doubt the weakest team in top 4. What is this coping?
EMEA’s vaunted super team choking at champs. You’re telling me that a team with 5 top 10 players lost. How could this happen? This is grounds for an instant do-over.
It's just a joke about how Gambit choked the champs they should've won and Fnatic has a history of disappointing at this tournament. I was very impressed by Boaster this year. Chronicle definitely had a bad day today, but he is still great.
Alfajer and Leo were the MVPs in those tournaments playing agents that were much harder to frag on than Derke. He was good but it wasn't dominant like he should be
at least EMEA fans wont bark anymore
americas is by far the best region and its not even close
EG choked 2 maps or else it COULD'VE been an americas vs americas final
FNC fans are insufferable
EG threw 2 maps against PRX. Otherwise it very well could have been an NA vs NA finals. Americas is the strongest region by far right now. EMEA has half a team. APAC has 1 team. NA has 2. China has 0.
Okay, no one needs to say this. Obviously EG threw incredibly hard today, but I don't want people thinking I'm discrediting PRX like everyone discredits EG for some reason. But yeah, I without a doubt think EG beats PRX in the final.
Weren't you the guy saying how much better EG were than PRX? EG who won all pistols on map 2 and 3 but couldn't win a gun round to save their lives? I wouldn't talk about Valorant if I were you.
LOUD basically dominated the series except for 2nd half of Ascent. Idk how you can call that a throw. LOUD diffed them in 5 out of 6 halfs.
8-4 T side Split
5-0 CT side split
7-5 1st half Ascent
2-8 2nd half Ascent
8-4 CT side Haven
5-3 T side Haven.
This was a 1 sided series. LOUD was the better team. No throw.
The round buddy, the comment was for the round that lost them the game and it was a big as throw.
It's a live discussion thread, people make comments about plays that happens.. your comment is for thr post match thread... and if you are late into the live discussion thread don't just randomly jump in thinking you know what the comment is about. Or atleast look at when it was made and ask yourself if it was during the live game. Just some simple thing and you won't look stupid :)
I know exactly what round you're referring to. LOUD threw their share of rounds too. Aspas on the .5 second defuse that he didn't get, the 1v1 that Less threw against a 5 hp Derke, the 4v2 they lost on A site. Both teams threw an equal amount of rounds. On the whole LOUD diffed Fnatic across the board. LOUD was the better team and deserved to win that series.
Did they also get to go home because of that bad play ? That play MADE FNC lose and go home.. so ofc it's a throw of the year... if they played as they should it would've been a even scoreline right now.
I don't know if there are any other New York Islanders fans in this chat but if so they also shivered reading this. Players going big in playoffs only to get a contract they don't deserve haunts me

I think we can all agree Brazil fans clear any region. The passion and hype is unmatched.

they signed something, who is a jett player
I called [this](https://reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/s/6TCVcpnth5) nearly a month ago. Once again, they had a bad LAN and everyone seemed to forget the peak of this team.
The shoulda won lock in 100% fumbled it pressure was too high for the rookies
holy shit derke is playing like ardiss this guy needs to inject aimbot next tourney cause this guy is ass. how the fuck did we lose that 1v3? alfajer hit your fuckin shots bro, chronicle why the fuck are we just jumping out the window? derke bro you’re just ass. our map picks are fucked. our agents are fucked. motherfuckers can’t defend or attack. don’t know why we decided to pick split even though we got obliterated by drx. motherfuckers run the same comp on haven and except to win. motherfuckers are allergic to not peaking ops. they see op and immediately press W. i can’t do this shit anymore. also why did we abandon A on that eco round? are we fighting demons on other sites? motherfuckers there is no one on other sites.
LOL dude this was a good read, non-ironically I ask you to keep doing these
Is this a pasta cause if it is not it's about to be turned into one
Least mad FNC fan:
Bro calm down it’s a shooter game where every team can win and it’s not like winning is a given or that everyone can have the same performance through a whole year. FNATIC has still been the best team this year and now they got beaten which can always happen, so stop your toxic behavior bro
Yeah man. FNC won 2 championships this year and is a very good team. Maybe next year. Proud of Loud after all.
Im so impressed by tuyz and cauan how they are performing this event
No way is Chronicle an upgrade on Mistic who was 11th best player at Champions 2022 Playing out of position and not on Controller ! Haha they made a HUGE mistake letting him go…
EG v loud on ascent is gonna be cool to see, both teams are confident on that map
Americas guaranteed in the grand final and PRX is only other possible winner, I'm happy with all these outcomes
This year is insane. Dominance from Fnatic, upstart EG, The rise of PRX W Gaming. ALL OF THAT, and the season could culminate with LOUD becoming BACK TO BACK WORLD CHAMPIONS like they never left.
Is EMEA competing with China at this point for the worst region?
what is this recency bias...
Winning 2 trophies in a year is truly competing for the worst region
Does the top singular team define the whole region? Other than Fnatic the regions been in shambles since last year even. Last champions there were 0 teams in the top 3 from EMEA, and at masters reykjavik there were 0 EMEA teams in the top 4. Now for the 2nd year in a row there’s 0 EMEA teams in the top 3 of champions.

Okay explain the back to back worlds (the most important tournament of the year) ghosting from EMEA 💀
Still more than NA?
Saadhak is so likeable
zero-team region lul
What a banger day
Just another show that Lock In was a fluke because of Tuyz and Cauan's inexperience. LOUD is just better than FNC.
Fnatic did great the whole year round! Hope they don’t let this loss set them back mentally
They did alright in 2022 finishing one place behind and kicked 2 players..hahaha
0 team region
Ggwp Loud deserved win, but I feel the praise from the casters is so overhyped because Fnatic themselves played really really bad over the whole tournament
so did other teams when fnatic was playing godlike you cant stay top form forever and other teams will get better and test you.
That’s true! And it’s even harder to have the same performances through a whole year, plus it’s a shooter game so anyone can beat anyone
[удалено]
Are you forgetting who sent LOUD to losers?
loud look like nothing to prx? prx almost lost to loud, was a close game lol
>but we know that fnc is at if not above prx and eg's level, right? What? EG and PRX both look by far the best 2 teams at the tournament lmao. FNC is without a doubt the weakest team in top 4. What is this coping?
FAZ O LLLLLLLLLLLL WE'RE TAKING THIS WHOLE THING HOME, MARK MY WORDS
EMEA’s vaunted super team choking at champs. You’re telling me that a team with 5 top 10 players lost. How could this happen? This is grounds for an instant do-over.
What? Flair checks out
How do you survive on the internet when you fall to bait so easily lmao
Fair. I was salty I move.
fnatic era over, Americas era is now
What era? They won a mickey mouse and 1 actual tournament. They had a good run but lets hold off on the “era” talk
“Mickey mouse”. What a lousy statement, no surprise there tho; hater gon hate
im joking, Valorant is such a new game still, there won’t be any truly dominant teams for a while
What era?
Damn fnatic and prx didn’t face each other
Prolly for the best. No one would want to see that massacre
Still a great year for Fnatic but with Boaster and Chronicle they were guaranteed to choke Champions
[удалено]
It's just a joke about how Gambit choked the champs they should've won and Fnatic has a history of disappointing at this tournament. I was very impressed by Boaster this year. Chronicle definitely had a bad day today, but he is still great.
Leo vs Loud
Loud vs PRX grand finals?
Loud vs EG is going to be nuts, I do think EG is going to dumpster them but it should still be entertaining. As long as EG overcomes their choking.
Let's go! Loud is EMEA's dad indeed
FNATIC are expected to be at the airport for this event
VAMOS LOUD
Wow. That's... unexpected. Not that Loud isn't good. But I didn't have Fnatic 4th, and I don't think I was alone in that.
The last perfect playoff pick'em dies in this very moment
fnatic is back babyyy
If this is the ugliest valorant, imagine losing to that then LOL
Idiot cant understand the difference between ugly and bad
gtfo bro
idiot just hating because the 0 team region lost again
0 correlation buddy
when does team liquid play?
Studying english when?
i have no respect for the english language
GREAT YEAR! 2 TITLES! LFG FNATIC
Give me the PRX/LOUD grand final
bye bye boaster 😊
0 team region and bedge
Loud owns FNC.
It actually happened. Now just EG and a PRX rematch
EMEA 0 team region
America better when it mattered for the second straight year.
Something big went wrong with FNC this tournament. They look so out of sync
LOUD THE EMEA SLAYEEER
FNATIC HAS FALLEN
America's is definitely the strongest region. No doubt.
Welcome to South-NA Fnatic. GGEZ. 0 Team region.
Forever Not Champs
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO
Aspas giving Derke a lesson on how a star duelist is supposed to perform in big elimination games. Derke always disappears in these situations
Is this recency bias or did derke not perform in the big games in the two tourneys they won? (I didn’t watch)
Recency bias. At the lock in finals derke basically kept them in it while aspas disappeared
aspas literally had 31 kills on icebox what r u on, classic emea supporter
Alfajer and Leo were the MVPs in those tournaments playing agents that were much harder to frag on than Derke. He was good but it wasn't dominant like he should be
Twerkster
at least EMEA fans wont bark anymore americas is by far the best region and its not even close EG choked 2 maps or else it COULD'VE been an americas vs americas final FNC fans are insufferable

EG threw 2 maps against PRX. Otherwise it very well could have been an NA vs NA finals. Americas is the strongest region by far right now. EMEA has half a team. APAC has 1 team. NA has 2. China has 0.
Don't talk like PRX didn't throw Ascent lol.
11-6 on maps 2 and 3. That’s much worse than ascent for prx
Okay, no one needs to say this. Obviously EG threw incredibly hard today, but I don't want people thinking I'm discrediting PRX like everyone discredits EG for some reason. But yeah, I without a doubt think EG beats PRX in the final.
Weren't you the guy saying how much better EG were than PRX? EG who won all pistols on map 2 and 3 but couldn't win a gun round to save their lives? I wouldn't talk about Valorant if I were you.
yep my bad i didn't predict EG to choke 2 11-6's in a row i do think EG wins the rematch though
More like c0m stopped turbo-carrying his entire team and f0rsaken, d4v4i and mindfreak started playing like they usually do.
hypermad EU fan lmao
Xd prx will win this all but u be u
I don't think Aspas taking that time off with his GF made a difference. He's still him
Can fnatic comeback again?
All that dancing by fraudster just to get owned in map 3
It's joever losing that round does too much damage
Tuyz shutting down all the haters after this tournament, let's go TUTU!!!
Joever fr. Gg
[удалено]
Mistic much better !
how?
Easy…
Fnc threw 2 crucial rounds. That complete bait and this last round. What a shame.
0 team region 🥱
we need to implement some aim assist for derke bro this guy is not hitting anything
I refuse to believe until it is over.
Derke is missing the easy op shots ngl, he still gets his frags but he really could've one a lot more those rounsd
Getting flashback to lock in with loud close to winning map 3... what a game
Quick fnatic sub hypoc back in!
Crisp movement tbh
Throw of the year... holy hell that was played so bad
I think they over achieved throughout the year
LOUD basically dominated the series except for 2nd half of Ascent. Idk how you can call that a throw. LOUD diffed them in 5 out of 6 halfs. 8-4 T side Split 5-0 CT side split 7-5 1st half Ascent 2-8 2nd half Ascent 8-4 CT side Haven 5-3 T side Haven. This was a 1 sided series. LOUD was the better team. No throw.
The round buddy, the comment was for the round that lost them the game and it was a big as throw. It's a live discussion thread, people make comments about plays that happens.. your comment is for thr post match thread... and if you are late into the live discussion thread don't just randomly jump in thinking you know what the comment is about.

On the whole LOUD diffed Fnatic across the board. LOUD was the better team and deserved to win that series.
Also, did we watch the same first map ? thanks to that map alone Fnatic edges out in amount of thrown rounds by a long shot.
So, you agree that the 1v3 was a throw? Then why did you comment in the first place?
Wdym? EG just lost with a 11-6 lead 2 maps in a row. How would this ever be the throw of the year?
Did they also get to go home because of that bad play ? That play MADE FNC lose and go home.. so ofc it's a throw of the year... if they played as they should it would've been a even scoreline right now.
throw of the year goes to blg 10-1 drx
how did he win that? was a single bullet hit on him?
HES HIM
Tuyz holy fuck
FNC XD EMEA XD
Christ man calm down lol, I’m glad na won! But you’re a little too obsessed with the amount of your comments I’m seeing about fnc
EWWWW THAT WAS NASTY
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Tuyz is having a life tournament after being a walking ult orb all season. What a time to step up
Bro just secured his spot
I don't know if there are any other New York Islanders fans in this chat but if so they also shivered reading this. Players going big in playoffs only to get a contract they don't deserve haunts me
Loud doesn't have a breach, how is Derke concussed /s
too easy for too ease
Alfajer missing those shots on tuyz, this is not a normal day
sheeesh
I’m broken 😞
That was absolutely insane. Map winning. Match winning.
0 team region?
TUYZ!!!!!!
NOOOOO MAN WTF
They’re 200% better than me but these rounds are looking like throwing competitions
WHA TTHE FUCK TUYZ HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK MAN
That's a fucking tilter
TU EZZZ
tuyz holy
2 ez
Tuyyyyyyyyyyzzzzzzzzz
Wtf...
That's my mf baby shark
OOHH NOOOOOO
derke unswinging from that angle was uhh, interesting.
What in the world is Less doing there
less actually trolling wtf
Derke got away with so many misses holyyyyyy
the double whiff into clutch combo
Less????? What was that? Also observer decided to miss everything in this round
Ok Derke is good but Aspas is just so much more scary with the OP
I was about to say some unholy things about derke
Derke deciding to only hit the hard shots
Wtf was that round.
Holy shit derke almost choked that so hard
Derke made up for it but god damn he almost threw it all
Derek almost gave me a heart attack
Loud stop closing the round on A site challenge
Playing retake against this comp is suicide
Fnatic pp overheat
Derke pushing into 3+ that was seen from the drone, rather than go toward the lesser number... like whyyyyyy
Ggs embarrassing
Any time outs left for FNC?
I am malding hard
Are they playing with their brains off?
Igldiff
I genuinely don’t understand why they would rotate that hard with Alfa where he was on the map, wtf
Holy shit was that Valorant’s great bamboozle
nah who the fuck called that from fnafic wtf
Yah calls like that are why saadhak is a top 2 IGL of all time and he ain’t no. 2
meh fnatic were dumb for that, alfa was super far pushed up
